Yellow-Cross journalism is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched medical-related news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism, restricted within the medical/health/scientific fields.
Headline: "Water Bottles Cause Cancer"
Explanation: A certain manufacturer of an isolated water bottle used a chemical which could possibly induce the growing of certain types of cancer cells.

A very elaborate and advanced newspaper that is available everywhere. It contains articles about business as well as current events. Overall, an excellent paper.
None of you dumb fucks read the Wall Street Journal because it has no cartoons or color. Shit, just shit!

Originally the name of a tabloid magazine written for those in the medical profession. Now, it merely refers to subscriptions that you're still paying for and receiving in your mail - these of which you neither have the time to read nor ever intend to do so.
I'm getting bored of this trashy fashion magazine that I've stupidly subscribed to two months ago. It's such a British Medical Journal!

Writing down the things one is experiencing, thinking, and feeling as being those a character in a fictitious story is experiencing.
"Third person journaling" allows one to detach oneself from oneself and perceive and express things differently and more objectively than when writing about oneself.
